The war in Iraq...?

Question

OK a few questions... you don't need to anwer them all
1) is there still the threat of terroism and WMDs in Iraq that we are fighting for, or is the "goal" just to get a democracy now...in other words, if we were to pull out, what danger would we be in from iraq?
2) Wtih the US/UN troops still fighting there, what is their current state of government?
3)was there any truth behind the "dangers of terrorism and WMD" excuse for going to iraq?
4) in simple words, what are the two sides of the civil war in iraq?

please if I could have unbiased answers that would be great... add your opinion if you'd like but it would be great if you could first give me an answer that is all fact
Thanks

Answer 1

#1. We were NEVER threatened by terrorists from Iraq (NONE of the 9/11 terrorists were from there), & there were never any WMD's there. #2. The current Iraqi govenment is very weak- & "propped up" entirely by the U.S.). #3. No. And #4. There is NO "2 Sides" to the conflict in Iraq's Civil War; what you have are multiple "factions" (perhaps as many as 10) of religious zealots- jockeying for "position" so that THEY can take over the Country once we finally pull out. These are the "facts"- stripped of fiction.

Answer 2

I'll answer #3. We did not attack Iraq because of the threat of WMD OR dangers of terrorism. We attacked Iraq because the inept Clinton administration did not enforce the sanctions put on Saddam in the early nineties. Saddam agreed not to build up his military and stay out of Kuwait. Not only did he build up his military, he was moving into Kuwait. He was a threat to our allies in that region too. The Clinton administration did absolutely nothing about it and something finally had to be done. THAT is fact!!

Answer 3

I got this straight from an American Islamic website, hope it's fact enough for ya.

With great aplomb they will refer to the Qur’anic verses (such as 2:30, 6:165, 7:129, 27:62) which firmly declare that only the Muslims are the rightful inheritors of earth. Allah has assured the victory of Islam by expropriating and usurping the land of the infidels and hand them over to the Muslims (verses 13:41, 21:44, 28:58). The Islamic world is patiently waiting for this ultimate victory of Islam—no infidel should bear any doubt on this mindset of great majority of Islamic diehards.

There are thousands of Islamic organizations in the West whose job is to keep pushing their Islamic agenda to reshape the West. The message is loud and clear: conform to Islam or else face jihad, that is, Islamist terrorism.
